John Maus is one of the few people I have heard of that can work on their PHD and earn indie cred whilst playing with Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti. Since 2006, Maus has been making dark 80’s-movie soundtrack inspired jams. I saw him at SXSW and his live show is very intense to say the least. You can almost feel the pain, angst, excitement and joy while he performs. John Maus’ third full-length “We Must Become The Pitiless Censors Of Ourselves”, drops June 27th on Upset The Rhythm (Europe & UK) and June 28th on Ribbon Music (North America).
